Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I was a small-town kid with a hard road ahead, Walking slower than the rest of them did, Boots in the dirt, head hanging low, Heard every word they threw like stones. Old back road, where I learned to stand, With a little more heart than they could understand, Every bruise, every tear I hid— Built the man that I am now, kid. Pre-Chorus They said I’d break, said I’d fall, But they didn’t know me at all… Chorus Now I’m stronger than I was back then, Yeah, I bent but I didn’t bend to them, I ain’t got wings, but I still fly, When I see the world through my children’s eyes. To them I’m ten feet tall and tough, A little bit broken, but more than enough, I stand my ground, I draw that line— Ain’t no one crossing this family of mine. Verse 2 Got a front porch light and a couple kids, And I’d fight the world just to protect them, When the dark rolls in like a thunderstorm, I’m the calm, I keep ‘em warm. No badge, no fame, no silver screen, Just a working man doing everything, But in their eyes when they look at me— I’m everything I dreamed I’d be. Pre-Chorus All those years, all that pain, Turned into something I can’t explain… Chorus Now I’m stronger than I was back then, Yeah, I bent but I didn’t bend to them, I ain’t got wings, but I still fly, When I see the world through my children’s eyes. To them I’m ten feet tall and tough, A little bit broken, but more than enough, I stand my ground, I draw that line— Ain’t no one crossing this family of mine. Bridge I don’t wear a cape, don’t need a name, But I’d walk through fire in the pouring rain, For every laugh, for every tear— I’ll be right here, year after year. Final Chorus Yeah, I’m stronger than I was back then, And I’d do it all over again, Every scar, every road I’ve walked— Led me here to be their rock. To them I’m everything I need to be, A little rough, but finally free, From that broken boy I left behind— Now I’m the hero in their eyes.
